Chapter 239 - : Hunting for Local Delicacies
Yun Xiangxiang bumped into the program team when she was coming back from her morning workout. They asked, “You work out this early in the morning?”
“I’m used to it. Keeps me energetic for the whole day if I do my morning workout,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. She didn’t mind the camera filming her looking sweaty.
Yun Xiangxiang and the others gathered after washing themselves up. They didn’t have their breakfast.
Yun Xiangxiang arrived first. She was the energetic young lady of the group.
Lu Jin and Hou Cang then arrived looking fresh and were all smiles.
A yawning He Xingzhou then appeared and leaned on Lu Jin’s shoulder.
Sun Qiluo was the last to arrive. She was still half-asleep.
“Great, everyone’s here. The first thing we’re going to do is some breakfast hunting. It’s right here in this old town.”
He Xingzhou was the unluckiest of the bunch. He saw a lot of great food, but he thought everywhere else had them too. They must not be the local specials.
And of all things, he had to bump into Yun Xiangxiang as he trudged around town. He could only gulp as he looked at her enjoying the great food.
“Can I have some if Xiangxiang wants to treat me?” He Xingzhou had an idea.
“No,” the program team refused him unhesitatingly.
He Xingzhou still walked in, “What are you having there?”
“Soy flour broth. It’s a local special,” Yun Xiangxiang answered before taking a clean spoon. “Have a taste.”
He Xingzhou quickly came forward, but he was blocked by the program team before he could have some.
“Hurry up and find something to eat. You won’t have the strength for the games later,” Yun Xiangxiang held back her laugh.
He Xingzhou left like a lonely man traversing the cold, wintry land.
Hou Cang was the third to have his breakfast. He went for Tengchong Ersi. He knew nothing else about Yunnan specialties, except for this one. The question he was given was related to the history of their film, and he knew the answer to it.
Yun Xiangxiang went back the way she came from. She bumped into a dejected Sun Qiluo who was squatting outside the Grilled Erkuai shop.
“What happened?”
“I can’t answer the question. I am starving,” Sun Qiluo looked sad.
“What is it about?” Yun Xiangxiang asked.
“The four beauties of the warring states period.
“The rules state that I only can’t give any hints about the local special, right?” Yun Xiangxiang used the flaw in the rules. “It didn’t say anything about helping someone answer their question.”
The program team was speechless.
Yeah, the rules didn’t say anything about that.
“Xi Shi, Madam Xi, Xia Ji, Qi Wenjiang,” Yun Xiangxiang answered swiftly.
“Darn you, Qi Wenjiang. You made me starve,” Sun Qiluo jumped. “Shopkeeper, give me ten pieces of Da Jiujia and some fried breadsticks at the side. I want everything from the salty ones to the sweet ones, and to the sweet-and-salty ones.”
Yun Xiangxiang was stunned.
The program group shared the same sentiments.
The shopkeeper was taken aback at her request.
Only after a while did the shopkeeper remind her softly, “You can’t finish ten of them.”
“Give her three. One salty, one sweet, one sweet and salty,” Yun Xiangxiang decided for Sun Qiluo.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t return immediately after separating from Sun Qiluo. She wanted to look around and digest her breakfast.
